About FK Panevėžys

FK Panevėžys is a Lithuanian professional football club based in the city of Panevėžys. It was founded in 2015 after the financial collapse and dissolution of the city’s previous top club, FK Ekranas. The new club was created to restore top-level football in the region and began its journey in the second tier of Lithuanian football before quickly rising to the A Lyga, the country’s top division.

In its early years, the club steadily developed both sportingly and structurally. After gaining promotion to the A Lyga in 2018, FK Panevėžys established itself as a stable top-flight team. It gradually improved its league positions and also began achieving success in domestic cup competitions, including winning the Lithuanian Football Cup in 2020, which marked its first major trophy.

The club reached its historic peak in the early 2020s. FK Panevėžys won the Lithuanian championship for the first time in 2023, becoming one of the top teams in the country. It also earned opportunities to compete in UEFA competitions, representing Lithuania in European tournaments. Today, the club is considered a strong and modern force in Lithuanian football, continuing the football tradition of Panevėžys after the era of FK Ekranas.
